No recent Value Added sale for a price comparison. Comparable to Monday's regular feeder cattle sale, feeder steers under 650lbs traded 4.00 to 9.00 higher and feeder steers over 650lbs traded steady to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 650lbs traded 5.00 to 8.00 higher and heifers over 650lbs traded steady to 3.00 higher. A very active market today at the JRS with moderate to heavy supply and very good demand.
